A Little Tour in France by Henry James

 

Henry James’s A Little Tour in France (1884) is a charming travelogue that captures his six-week journey through provincial France, offering a rich tapestry of art, architecture, history, and everyday life beyond Paris. James’s central idea—“France may be Paris, but Paris is not France”—drives his exploration of lesser-known towns like Tours, Bourges, Nantes, Toulouse, Arles, and Dijon.
